OIL-BURNER ATTACHMENT FOR S'IGVES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 12, 1909.

Application filed March 13, 1908. Serial No. 420,947.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN M. BARNES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lucerne, in the county of Sheridan and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burner Attachments for Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention embodies a novel form of oil burner attachment for coal stoves, ranges, or the like.

The invention resides particularly in the specific advantageous construction of the attachment, whereby the same may be made very cheaply, whereby it may be applied to any forms of coal stoves most commonly in use, and which is adapted to be readily applied or removed whenever desired.

For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following detail description and to the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a coal stove having the attachment comprising the invention supported upon the grate in the fire box thereof; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the attachment; Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of the T-coupling, the short pipe section connected therewith, and the locking device carried by the latter, all arranged in operative position relative to the an and grate; and Fig. 4: is a detail view of the locking member.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the following detail description and on the several views of the drawings.

As above premised an essential aim of the invention is to produce a burner attachment which is extremely simple, and with the above in view, it is designed to provide a burner 1 consisting of a body comprising hollow sections 1 preferably pipe sections, united at inner adjacent ends by a T-coupling 2. The outermost end portions of the burner 1 are internally screw-threaded to receive screw plugs 3 by which the opposite ends are normally closed, the plugs being readily removable to permit of access to the interior of the burner for cleaning purposes, or the like. The burner 1 is arranged in an oil pan 4: which latter is lined with fire clay, or any similar heat resisting composition. The lower portion 2 of the coupling 2 rests upon the bottom of the pan 1 and above an opening in said bottom through which a short pipe section 5 passes, the latter screwing into the part 2 of the coupling in an obvious manner. Adjustably mounted upon the upper portion of the pipe section 5 is a lock nut 6 adjustable by reason of engagement with the external threads 5" of the section 5, and said nut is adapted to engage the under side of the bottom of the pan 4 to firmly secure the pan to the parts 2 and 5. An elbow coupling 7 connects a supply pipe 8 with the pipe section 5 leading to the burner 1, and said supply pipe 8 is connected with a suitable oil tank 12 preferably lo cated at some distance from the stove, and at an elevation above that of the burner 1. A valve 9 in the length of the pipe 8 con trols the passage of oil from the tank to the burner 1, and the operation of the burner is thereby governed.

Under certain conditions it may be desirable that the burner 1 and oil tank 1 be secured to the grate 10 in some substantial way, to prevent relative movement of the parts, and for the above purpose a locking member 11 is provided, the latter being also adapted to move lengthwise of the pipe section 5 by reason of its threaded connection with the external screw threads provided upon the pipe section 5. The lock member 11 preferably consists of a circular body having outwardly curved arms 11 extending therefrom and adapted to engage spaced bars of the grate 10 so that said bars will be clamped between the member 11 and the lock nut 6.

The burner 1 is provided with suitable orifices or openings from which the oil passes when the burner is in use, and on proper adjustment of the valve 9. The operation of the invention is very simple and will be readily understood from the foregoing description and on reference to the drawings. The pan 4: may be of any suitable shape'desired and the burners may of course be made in diiferent sizes according to the desire of the manufacturer, and as found necessary to best carry out the purposes of the invention. Obviously caps may be used instead of the plugs 3.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is:

The combination with a stove embodying a grate, of an oil burner attachment therefor comprising a burner embodying a hollow body consisting of sections, a T-coup ling connecting adjacent ends of the sections, an oil pan in which the burner is re- 1 .tion of the pipe section and engaging the ceived and upon the bottom of which the under side of the grate to secure the burner lower portion of the T-coupling rests, a attachment thereto, and a valved oil supply pipe section passing through the bottom of pipe connected with the aforesaid pipe seethe pan and having threaded connection ,tion. with the lower portion of the T-coupling, In testimony whereof I aflix my signasaid pipe section lieing 1provided with $210 ture in presence of two witnesses. ternal screw t reac s, a ock nut ac justa e T on the pipe section and engaging the under JOHN BARAES' side of the pan to clamp the latter between Witnesses:
